SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original problem, perform the following
safety check before return the product to the customer.
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly
soldered connections. Check the entire board surface
for solder splasher and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
“pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts,
particularly transistors, that were installed during a
previous repair. Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement.
4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious
signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement.
5. Check the B + voltage to see it is at the values specified.
6. Make leakage - current measurements to determine
that exposed parts are acceptably insulated from the
supply circuit before returning the product to the customer.

Auto Power Save Function :
DPOF:Digital Print Order Format
EV:A number that denotes Exposure Value. The EV is determined by the brightness
Frame rate (fps) :The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or
If the camera is not used in any way for 30 seconds, this function switches features such as the LCD monitor off (Sleep mode) to prevent battery depletion and
the waste of power when the AC power adapter is connected. If the camera is
then left unused for a further period, the Auto Power Save function switches the
camera off. This period can be set to 2 minutes or 5 minutes on this camera.
The Auto Power Off function does not operate in PC mode, during automatic
playback, or if it is disabled during setup.
DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image
memory card, etc.) that allows you to specify which of the frames shot using a
digital camera are to be printed and how many prints are made of each image.
of the subject and sensitivity (speed) of the film or CCD. The number is larger for
bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject
changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the aperture and shutter speed.
When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the EV decreases by 1.
played back per second. For example, when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10 fps.
For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps.
JPEG :Joint Photographics Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss of quality in the decompressed (restored) image.
Motion JPEG:A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound
as a single file. Images in the file are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can
be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later.
PC Card:A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.
PC Card Standard:A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.
PCMCIA:Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US).
Smear :A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image
when there is a very strong light source, such as the sun or reflected sunlight, in
the photography screen.
WAVE :A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files
have the “.WAV” file extension and the data can be saved in either compressed or
uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this camera.
WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software:
Windows: MediaPlayer
Macintosh: QuickTime Player
White Balance:Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object
still looks white. On the other hand, devices such as digital cameras see a white
subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the color of the ambi-
ent light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white bal-
ance.

3-3.Functions of Primary Blocks
3-3-1.Technical Outline
Use of [the 4th Generation Super CCD Honeycomb HR] has improved still photography performance. The 6.3
million effective pixels, and [the Honeycomb Signal Processing System], allows recording and reproduction of highquality images of up to 4048 x 3040 (1.23 million) pixels. These features permit [Candle Shots] at ISO800 in the
1Mega mode, a capability facilitated by the use of the unique honeycomb picture element which receives light over a
wide area, technical developments in pixel summing signal processing*1, and noise reduction technology.
Movie photography performance is improved. Horizontal/vertical pixel mixing*2 inside the CCD using a new data
transfer system is the first to provide 30 frames per second in VGA format at greater than 3 megapixels.
*1 : Image data obtained with honeycomb signal processing from twice the number of effective pixels. Shrinks four
pixels into one. This processing increases the signal level (sensitivity) by a factor of four, and the S/N ratio (signal-to-
noise ratio) by a factor of two, to permit photography at ISO800.
*2 : Mixes two pixels on the vertical axis, and two pixels on the horizontal axis, of the CCD.
This processing increases the signal level by a factor of four, and the S/N ratio by a factor of two, to provide high
sensitivity and high quality images, while at the same time allowing data to be read at high-speed (30 frames per
second in VGA format).
3-3-2.CAM Board Block Functions
Photography Circuit Functions (CAM BLOCK)
The analog video signal output from the newly developed CCD (1/1.7”, 6.3 million effective pixels, square pixel
honeycomb array, primary color CCD) is processed (pseudo-color compensation, adaptive interpolation, amplification,
and signal mixing) in ACS_IC (IC102:CSP_IC), and subsequently converted to a 12-bit digital signal. The digital
signal is then sent to the single chip image signal processing LSI : UCS2_IC (IC204 : CSP_IC*).
* CSP_IC=
3-3-3.MAIN Board Block Functions
Image Signal Processing Functions (PROCESS BLOCK)
Data input from CCD
* The 12-bit digital image data (1H equivalent) output from the CAM BLOCK is sent to UCS2_IC, buffered in the IBUF,
and converted to 32-bit (16-bit x 2) data. The 32-bit image data is then sent from the [I/O Buffer] in UCS2_IC and
stored in the SDRAM_IC (IC203, IC206 : 40 Mbyte). A single frame (4080 pixels x 3040 lines) of image data is
temporarily stored in the SDRAM_IC.
* At the same time, AE multiplies the 12-bit image data input from the UCS2_IC in [AUTO], and sends the data required
for AE/AWB/AF to the SDRAM_IC. To provide the appropriate data for AE/AWB/AF, this data is then sent from the
SDRAM_IC in serial format to the ACS_IC via the UCS2_IC.
Recording in the xD media
The image data stored in the SDRAM_IC is converted from 32-bit to 12-bit data one line at a time in the [IBUF] in the
UCS2_IC, and sent to [YC PRO]. The image data is then converted to 8-bit Y and C signals in [YC PRO], and then sent
again to [IBUF]. The 8-bit Y and C signals are then converted to 8-bit Y, Y, Cb, and Cr signals and sent to the
SDRAM_IC. The image data stored in the SDRAM_IC is compressed with [JPEG] in the UCS2_IC and again stored in
the SDRAM_IC. The image data following compression is recorded sequentially in the xD media in the UCS2_IC.
Image Replay from the xD media
The compressed image data from the xD media is sent to UCS2_IC, and stored in the SDRAM_IC via [MEDIA]. The
compressed image data stored in the SDRAM_IC is expanded with JPEG and stored again in the SDRAM_IC. The
expanded image data is sent to [YC PRO] via [IBUF]. Gain control for the luminance and color difference signals, and
aperture processing, are performed in [YC PRO] and the image data then sent again to the SDRAM_IC. The image
data is then displayed via [ENCD] and [D/A].
Movie Mode
The 12 bit digital image data output from the (CAM BLOCK) is converted to 8-bit Y and C signals in the USC2_IC [YC
PRO], and sent to the SDRAM_IC. The image data stored in the SDRAM_IC is compressed with [JPEG] in the
UCS2_IC and again stored in the SDRAM_IC. The image data following compression is recorded sequentially in the
SSFDC via [MEDIA] in the UCS2_IC.
The photography adjustment data is stored in the FLASH_ROM (In the IC205). The FLASH_ROM also incorporates
firmware.
LCD Control Functions (LCD CONTROL BLOCK)
The R, G, and B signals processed in the image signal processing UCS2_IC are output to the LCD panel via [LCD CONT].
A low-temperature polysilicon TFT color LCD monitor (1.8, 134,000 pixels) is used.
